The CELL NOT OPENED Sergeant Smith
has not yet made an examination of the cell
in which Cluverius was confined, and hence
the effects of the deceased have not as yet
been distributed. Cipverius left his steel
gray suit in the cell when ne marched to
the scafIold and also left few books and
papers Whether be left any written mat
ter is yet to be ascertaincd Some people
think that Cluverius hes left confession in
his CELL but this does not seem probable
When Sergeant Smith makes the examine
ton he will list all the articles in the room
and they will be distributed Sc requested by
Cuverius short while before death. No
one has entered the cell since Cuverius left
it, and no one will be permitted in there
until after the examination is made.-Siate

The SUBMARINE BoAr.-With reference

The SUBMARINE BoAT.-With reference
to the submarine boat, which mas attracted
some attention in the daily papers, it may
be as we'll to point out that the idsn is Ger.
tainly more than $50 years old, for in the
reign of James | Dutchman, named Dreb.
bel, constructed boat which travelled un-
der the surface of the Thames. Since then
many submarine vessels have been designed,
but none them as yet accomplished what
has been done by Professor Tuck's Peace
maker, in the Hudson River. New York.
That vessel apparently dives with ease, and
returns to the surface as desired. 4 very
powerful submarine vessel is being built to
the designs of Mr.. Nerdenfelt, with engines
of 800 horsepower, and it will probably be
ready fer lriai in Southampton Water in
the epring. Mechanic

THE FACT that not only many congress
men. of whose death every body hears, but
many of the clerks, messengers, and ether
employees at the Capitol, at Washington,
of whose death few people hear,
die of heart disease, naturally inclines ply
sologists to the belief that the altitude OF
that building is either OF both, the predis
posing or the exciting cause of the deaths
referred to. While an occasional rsFla
walk up either the inclioed plane or The
more abrupt stairways leading to that 6uiic-
ing would not hurt sound hear', il repeat
ed dailv. or oftener, the necessarily incress

to enlarge the cavities of The heart and to

DO so when the muscular tissue of tde body
is weakened by lassitude or depression. To
those already predisposed to heart disease
